Summary

I'm a hardworking, trustworthy worker that enjoys new relations with people and customers. I have a bubbly, friendly, and positive personality that I use to create a comfortable and fun working environment for coworkers and customers. Over the course of my education journey and part-time work throughout I have gathered many skills along with a strong work ethic, and the confidence to contribute to any workplace at a high standard. I have just graduated from Victoria University of Wellington with a Bachelor of Arts in Film (specialising in production), Media Studies, and Graphic Design. I am excited to begin my post-graduate journey and am currently looking for full-time work either in Design, Media, or Film, as well as Retail, Hospitality, or Office Administration and Reception.
